His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    The key word here is mandatory. Forcing the release of body cam footage and officer's names involved in a shooting is a bad idea. This could compromise the defense as well as the prosecution of a criminal. The officer's name is often withheld for safety reasons. Release should be done whenever possible, but the decision shouldn't be forced by law.

    On the other hand, had Minnesota had this law Keith Ellison would have had to release the footage of the Floyd arrest in its entirety and that might have crippled the whole BLM movement before it got started...

    It is evidence in an ongoing investigation. It should be used in a court of law. Not a court of public opinion.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    A couple of points first of which the District rushed through legislation right after the riots started that all body cam and names of officers be made public within 5 days. It takes far longer than that to even get started investigating an incidnt.

    The union is right, wait till the end of the investigation and the finding of the courts before releasing their names. The second point is they are putting the officers families in jeopardy by releasing their names before they are even given a to be cleared by investigation or by triall.

    Are you saying all information/evidence collected for a jury trial by both the prosecution and defense should be publicized?

    Thank you for your constructive criticism. Leech? No, not quite. You wouldn't want to pay my taxes.

    Oh, and thanks for your insightful reply. Fine debate tactics you have there, Bill.
